One response to “Growing”

Steve, what a wonderful “idea” for a blog. While I can’t cite the scripture at this moment, I recall the master giving 3 men 5 “talents” each, and sending them away to multiply them in some way and bring them back in a year or so. I’ve often thought of these “talents” as not only coins, but as gifts in the form of personal or professional qualities–much like your gift of ideas and authorship.

Heck, you may not be able grow vegetables, but I’ve always lacked common sense. At age 10 after coming out of a physics class all exuberant about a
theory on water displacement, I went out to my father’s farm and thought I could hold back thousands of gallons of canal water by lifting the wooden water break by using one finger. About 2 hours and several miles later, my dad got ahold of me–and I never believed either my physics professor or classroom theory again.
